How much does a used Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class cost in Singapore?

Most used Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class on the market are around 7 years old, asking roughly S$97k–S$113k (typically about S$103k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.

How much does a used Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class depreciate per year?

A used Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 14% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.

Is the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class reliable?

In our read, the Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class scores 60 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.

What should I expect to pay for a used Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class with a given mileage?

It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.

Where do these Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class figures come from?

They're worked out from current used-Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.

Generation: Tap a generation (↓) to jump to its full breakdown below; the colour maps back to the timeline strip + legend above.
Price range: P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
Down payment: MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
Availability: High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

Verdict

Same M260 platform as the GLB X247, GLA H247, A-class W177 — cylinder-head extended warranty (15yr/150k miles) is the defining check, paperwork that confirms coverage matters more than mileage. The 2nd-gen CLA is materially better-built than the C117 it replaced; MBUX is the headline upgrade.

Asking: S$136k–197k
Median: S$176k
Decay: —

What's good

CLA 200 / 250 (M260 petrol) with extended-warranty paperwork on the cylinder head — same coverage logic as A-class W177 + GLB X247; a clean compression test + the letter converts the gen's headline risk to zero.
Post-2021 build with documented 8G-DCT fluid history — the launch-year MBUX bugs were largely software-updated by 2021; the 8G-DCT is the same robust unit across the platform when serviced.

What to watch

Misfires, rough idle, or CEL on the petrol — M260 cylinder-head symptom; verify warranty status. The repair is covered in-scope, expensive out-of-scope.
2019/2020 build with persistent MBUX glitches + no service-bulletin updates applied — early MBUX firmware had real bugs; dealer software updates address most. A car that's never been back to MB for software work is a yellow flag.

Verdict

M270 cold-start chain rattle is the gen-defining check at viewing — 5-15 seconds of metallic clatter as oil pressure builds means the chain tensioner is on its way out. Post-2015 builds are materially better; the 7G-DCT wants fluid changes every 60k km and a neglected one shudders from a stop.

Asking: S$49k–100k
Median: S$69k
Decay: 30.1%/yr

What's good

Post-2015 build with documented timing-chain + tensioner service — the M270 chain wear concentrates earlier in this gen's run; later cars with the work already done don't carry the risk a 2013-2014 unit does.
7G-DCT with full fluid-service book (every 60k km) — a serviced dual-clutch is robust; the unit fails predictably when the fluid was never changed. The service stamp matters more than the brand.

What to watch

M270 with cold-start metallic chain rattle (5-15 seconds) — definitive timing-chain stretch symptom on this engine. The repair is engine-out labour; walk unless the price already discounts it.
7G-DCT showing shudder on launch or jerking when coming to a stop — neglected DCT fluid is the usual cause; could be a fluid service away from fine or a clutch-pack-out repair. Insist on a test drive that includes stop-start traffic.
